[Bug 1819075] Re: SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.8 for bionic

[Rik Mills]

** Description changed:

- SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.7 LTS for bionic
+ SRU tracking bug for KDE's Plasma 5.12.8 LTS for bionic
  
  Official release announcement by the KDE community:
  https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.8.php
  
  Complete changelog (excludes translation updates):
  https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.7-5.12.8-changelog.php
  
  [Impact]
  
   * Without this update, general users who are not inclined or able to
  add our backports/update ppa will not receive this bugfix release of the
  Plasma 5.12 LTS series
  
   * Providing this bugfix release via the official update pocket in the
  archive will ensure that the bugfixes here reach and benefit most of our
  users. This is particularly important for a Kubuntu and Plasma LTS
  release
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * General tests:
+   - Does plasma desktop start as normal with no apparent regressions over 5.12.7?
+   - General workflow - testers should carry out their normal tasks, using the plasma features they normally do, and test common subsystems such as audio, settings changes, compositing, desktop affects, suspend etc.
+ 
+  * Specific tests:
+   - Check the changelog: https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.7-5.12.8-changelog.php
+   - Identify items with front/user facing changes capable of specific testing. e.g. "[weather] Fix weather Notices tab not showing."
+    - Test the 'fixed' functionality.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * These updates fix some obvious front facing issues, but also include some underlying code fixes.
+   - e.g. changes for compilation under Qt versions we do not ship yet, code optimizations and fixes with less obvious explanation of impact in the changelog,
+ 
+  * Fixes for obvious and testable bugs and regressions can also
+ introduce unintended other regressions in either the feature/app being
+ fixed, or desktop components or subsystems that interact with it. So it
+ is important in these updates to consider:
+ 
+  * General testing - does the desktop as a whole, and routine use of
+ such work as previously with no obvious regressions over the previous
+ release.
+ 
+  * If there is say a fix for the audio applet to fix one issue, in
+ addition to fixing that issue, do the other common features of that app
+ still work as before, do the general audio settings still work?
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+  * Packages not listed in the upstream changelog either have a 0-diff or
+ just translation updates. Those with translation updates have been
+ included in this SRU.
